Thank You Tony. The first 78 R.P.M. you show me is very rare. I have the same in white background color label with dark Green letters and graphics.

The side A of this beauty are “Hound Dong” (Perro sabueso).

This light Green lemmon background color is not common version. Very limited run and hard to find piece. Make at the end of moth of July of 1956, my version is later in August of 1956.

I have the second, made in Argentina. This Record are interesting because promoted as HIT FROM MOVIE “Al compás del Reloj” (Rock Around The Clock). But the record have the Presley version of this song, not the version of Bill Haley & His comets perfomace in this film. The movie has very popular on this years.

The chilean 78 R.P.M. have this versions:

Label 1-2: from 1956 to 1957.Label 3: from 1957.Label 4: from 1957-1959.

Unfortunately I do not own this "baby"... But my friend has it. And it is Finnish 78rpm from 1957. Looking matrix numbers it looks to be pressed from German mother stampers. There are two funny mistakes on the label: 1. The song is wrote as Teddy Bear (Let Me Be Your). 2. Hal Wallis is wrote as Hal Walli and Walli is common Swedish name in Finland!

It is not known how many was exactly pressed, but probably only 100-200 copies.

CME-146 / Exitos RCA Victor de Discomania (June 1958)

Hard to find rare chilean EP called “Exitos RCA Victor de Discomania”. Discomania was a very popular music radio program in the ‘50s and ‘60s.

On the cover you can see the chilean disck jockey of this program, his name is Ricardo García.The record include RCA hits from this year on Discomanía radio program and of course “I Beg of you”.

Latest Presleyana VII gives value of $800 without a insert sleeve, which is valued as for $200. Yes, it is unclear why RCA in USA pressed this single for distribution overseas in 1974. The only time they did that... In USA the B side was Thinking About You, while this export it is Loving' Arms (mis-spelled slightly on the label). The USA release was on January 1975.

You wrote that "Manufactured in the U.S. for overseas distribution due to strikes in the U.K." Very interesting if this was the case! Where you got this information?

And it comes actually with plastic bag because paper sleeve was folded.

My memory of the situation regarding the My Boy single was not so much a strike but wrapped up in the oil crisis. This affected other record releases at the time. The UK imported stock from the US but as far as Elvis is concerned My Boy/Lovin' arms was the only unique release. Of course this record is much more common in the UK compared to the USA.

Many thanks for all the info on this single. So, I wonder how many were pressed of this "My boy" export?
